How to remove nail polish from floor tiles.

Nail varnish remover is more likely to damage the varnish and the protective oil layer on wooden furniture and should only be used as a last resort when removing nail varnish stains. Follow the steps below to remove dried on nail polish starting with the least abrasive chemical cleaners and work up to more powerful applications until the stain is removed. This permanent staining is more likely to occur when the tile floor consists of natural stone such as granite or marble rather than ceramic tile. Never use nail polish remover on wood floors.

Removing nail polish stains from tiles looks slightly different from removing nail polish from home textiles. A stain on a tile floor doesn t have to be traumatic. If you don t have rubbing alcohol you can use hairspray instead. Remove the excess as soon as possible.

If the polish is allowed to sit on the floor it may stain tiles over time and become difficult or impossible to remove. Gently pat the rubbing alcohol onto any leftover nail polish on the floor and let it soak for about 5 minutes. The first line of defense to clean up splashes of acetone or drips of nail polish color on tile is speed followed by detergent. Porcelain tiles have a hard surface that can tolerate most cleaning products.
